This baked donut recipe features fresh blueberries with lemon juice and zest, all combined for a batch of homemade baked donuts topped with a sweet lemon glaze.
Preheat your oven to 375° F and grease eight molds of a donut pan.
Use a mixing bowl and combine the flour, baking powder, and salt and stir together. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, butter, lemon juice, zest, and vanilla extract. Mix together well and then stir the dry ingredients into the bowl of the wet ingredients until just combined, without over mixing. Use a large flat wooden spoon or rugger spatula to gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
Next, use a piping bag to carefully fill the prepared molds of the donut pan with the donut batter. Place in hot oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean after inserting into the center of a donut ring.
Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then invert on wire cooling rack. While the donuts are cooling, make the donut glaze recipe.
